Police seek leads in jewelry heist

TOWN OF ULSTER — Police in the town of Ulster are asking the public for help in solving the theft of a large quantity of gold charms at the Hudson Valley Mall on Tuesday night.

Employees at Jewelry Expressions reported that someone cut a wire security cable and made off with a display of 75 to 100 charms, said Police Chief Anthony Cruise. According to employees, the heist occurred during store hours, sometime between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.
